It would seem as though Netflix simply wanted to wait and see how well the show really did with critics as opposed to just viewers before making any decisions, because just five days after the doc was nominated for a staggering six Emmy nominations, Making a Murderer was officially given a second season!

VP of Original Documentary Programming Lisa Nishimura praised creators Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos for their hard work in the renewal announcement on Tuesday, saying:

They dished that they've spoken with her about potentially starting the filmmaking process back up, and are recording conversations with the man who was locked up for killing Teresa Halbach!

Laura explained:

"From our perspective, this story is obviously not over. It's real life and [Steven and nephew Brendan Dassey's] cases are both still pending. We have no idea when the magistrate will make a decision in Brendan's case. We do know that two potential outcomes are that the judge could order Brendan's release or he could order a new trial. So, we are on the edge of our seats about that. To the extent that there are significant developments, we would like to continue documenting [this case.]"

But after the popular program sparked criticism of the Wisconsin justice department, Steven's civil lawyer, Stephen M. Glynn, believes the directors will have some issues getting people from the state to cooperate, saying:

And considering the whole thing has caused a lot of people to take a really critical look at our justice system — particularly in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin — we weren't entirely surprised that the state wanted to squash the whole thing!

On Wednesday, Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos — AKA the popular production's creators — took over the series' Twitter for a Q&A, and things got pretty interesting when they were asked about the biggest challenges they faced when filming the 10-part project.

The lovely ladies revealed that the state of Wisconsin tried to shut them down, sharing:

Since the release of Netflix's hit docu-series Making a Murderer, TONS of people have binge-watched the intriguing story of Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey, who were convicted of murdering Teresa Halbach in 2005.

The documentary has been a massively hot topic over the last couple weeks; not only have the attorneys involved in the case opened up about their experiences, but Dr. Phil and Nancy Grace have also gotten in on covering of the controversial case!

The Late Show host invited the creators of Making a Murderer Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos over to chat about their hit docu-series and reveal whether or not they thought Steven Avery was actually guilty.

Making a Murderer has been quite the breakout hit for Netflix as everyone is talking about the 10 part docu-series that investigates the case of Steven Avery who was put on trial for murdering a young woman by the name of Teresa Halbach.

The documentary has enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat as you question whether or not Avery really committed the crime, or if he was possibly framed by Manitowoc County Police.

Since the show has been such a success, it's been all over the news and caused several outlets to contact those involved such as prosecutor Ken Kratz, who claimed there was evidence left out of the show, or Steven's defense attorney Dean Strang, who stuck by his defense.

Well, now there's even more news regarding Avery's trial because filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos stopped by TODAY on Tuesday and shared that a juror from the case reached out to them and revealed they "believe Steven Avery was not proven guilty… they believe Steven was framed by law enforcement and that he deserves a new trial."
